this is my understanding (I am not a doctor) I am going by the information that I have looked at its also Razadyne this comes in 4mg 8mg and 12mg, it also comes in an oral solution, I believe it also comes in an extended release. I think that you need to talk with the doctor about this and see if there is any way of resolving this, Did he have problems with Aricept? I am so sorry that you are having problems such as this, please keep us posted this is a compassionate caring group of people whom I have a great deal of respect for. there may be others that can also give you guidance, this is indeed a difficult thing to have happen to our loved ones, we are thinking of you,
Thank You for everything!!!
